Well, all the Bush and Never Trumpers decided not to run. Some 40 retirees. Dems to their credit were smart in that they recruited lots of military vets (there are some Dems that serve) and ran them in swing districts. The Republicans did not field attractive candidates in some of those districts.
No talk about NY State...I guess Cuomo won. Yippee.
the fact of the matter is there are a lot more registered Dems than Repubs, the ethnic block voting is what wins for Dems, that is why Obama won and when African Americans did not vote as strong for Hillary, Trump won.
If we can ever get the split among African Americans and Hispanics to even 60/40 then dems won’t win but 100 House seats, and 10-12 Senate seats.
That’s our challenge, figure out how to do that and stay true to conservative principals.
